PhD candidates

I am co-promotor/supervisor of six PhD candidates.

In Progress

Liang Song. His PhD studies are supported by the University of Groningen. He is investigating brain-inspired approaches for the implementation of robust computer vision algorithms. His other promotor is Prof. Dimka Karastoyanova (University of Groningen).

Xueyi Wang His PhD studies are supported by the China Research Council (CRC). He is investigating how IoT and pattern recognition can be used to design autonomous health monitoring systems. His other promotor is Prof. Dimka Karastoyanova (University of Groningen).

Ahmad Alsahaf. His PhD studies are supported from the SMARTBREED project. He is investigating advanced machine learning techniques to propose better ways of enhancing the well-being and performance of farm animals. His other promotor is Prof. Nicolai Petkov (University of Groningen).

Promoted

Jiapan Guo. On 4 December 2017, she received PhD in Computer Science from the University of Groningen. Her PhD studies are focused on brain-inspired computer vision with application to retinal image analysis. In particular she developed a computer-assisted diagnosis system for the detection of glaucoma. Her other promotor is Prof. Nicolai Petkov (University of Groningen).

Andreas Neocleous. On 13 December 2016, he received PhD in Computer Science from the University of Groningen (the Netherlands). His thesis is titled “Machine Learning and Data Analytics for Biomedical and Musicological Applications”. The other promotors are Prof. Nicolai Petkov (University of Groningen) and Prof. Christos Schizas (University of Cyprus). The thesis can be downloaded from here.

Nicola Strisciuglio. On 10 June 2016, he received PhD cum laude in Computer Science from the University of Groningen (the Netherlands). His thesis is titled “Bio-inspired algorithms for pattern recognition in audio and image processing”. The other promotors are Prof. Nicolai Petkov (University of Groningen) and Prof. Mario Vento (University of Salerno).
